Is there more to this topic? I feel like I'm missing something here.

Depends on where you stand in your belief system. I personally don't think there's anything more to this, but, as always...I'm open for suggestions.

DeEje...

You've got to start asking better questions my friend, or rather, asking more put together questions...A free for all is one thing...But this is off the chain...This is the VU part of the board, and a certain...Um...Level of approach is necessary to warrant intellectual responses...So, try asking questions or asking for ideas, or whatever it is you seek, by applying a context...IE, be vertical..!

Aight...This is what I am getting at..

God cannot be all powerful and all loving, or can He?

If he was all loving, everyone one would spend eternity in his presence, but since this is not the case, free will then has more power over Him.

I do not see how He could be both, except through the viewpoint that love does not equal force (ie love would not be 'forcing' everyone to accept God)....but the arguement is very shaky..

Sorry for being brief, but the amount of words do not determine the validity of the question /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

The question is always with the question though...

Whose definition of "all loving" are you using..? Could it not be that the fact you are alive is more love than any other being has shown you..?

yea, nvm, i think the answer is the fact that love does not equal being forced to God. Love is having the choice...word?

I think that's a fine way to look at it...I have something interesting for you, that I'm going to post later on today, that you may find interesting along these same lines...I hope that it sparks a bit of debate... /:D" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt=":D" />
